Miyajima Public Aquarium, Hiroshima

This marine center is located on Miyajima island, and makes a great place to take the family, especially the kids. There are about 350 different varieties of marine life here, including dolphins, seals and penguins, with a total specimen count of about 13,000. The marine center tries to recreate their natural environment, so you can watch these organisms interact as they might in nature. There is also a water show twice daily.
